GAYA PHONE

Project Tango is a computer vision platform that allows a Phone/Tablet to know its position relative to the world without using GPS or external signals. This positional awareness is accomplished with a second wide angle camera and a depth sensor. We�ve seen Project Tango demos for a couple of years now, mostly with tablets, but this is the first time in a consumer phone. At Tech World 2016, Lenovo introduced the world to the first consumer �Project Tango� device � The Phab 2 Pro. The Phab Pro 2 is the top-end version of Lenovo�s� Phab product line which consists of the Phab 2, the Phab 2 Plus, and the Tango capable Phab 2 Pro. The three devices all share a similar design language and size. Like the Phab 2 and the Plus, the Phab 2 Pro has a gigantic 6.4� display sporting a �2.5D� glass covered 2560 x 1440 LCD display. Lenovo claims the display is an �Assertive Display� that �can adapt to variable lighting conditions like sunlight or light reflections.� The point of Tango is to have an AR experience that disappears into the background, isnt obvious but is useful and helps you do stuff easier and better. Google thinks these AR features are going to become the next GPS, so to speak.

 Phab 2 Pro apart is the Tango technology, which adds a wide-angle camera and special depth-sensing unit to the main 16-megapixel shooter. Its a shrunken down and improved version of the Tango camera array thats been available to developers in a tablet device for a couple of years, but it largely functions the same way. the Phab 2 Pro can map out a physical space, track objects, and project virtual effects in a real-world space. Lenovo is demonstrating the technology with a variety of apps, including virtual reality-style shooting games; an educational app, made in partnership with the American Museum of Natural History; and a domino app that lets you set up Rube Goldberg-like contraptions with virtual pieces. Prior Tango demos have shown how it can be used to navigate an indoor space or provide contextual information based on the object it is looking at.

The phone uses the motion tracking and the depth sensing cameras to learn areas, so it can recognize places (say, rooms) in which its been before. Its able to map physical spaces, it can track objects, and it can project virtual effects in what is a real-world space. It can help you navigate indoor places or provide contextual information about the objects its seeing. A special app store for such Tango content is promised by Lenovo to ship on the Phab2 Pro, and it will house around 25 apps at the beginning and possibly 100 by the end of the year.  It will cost $499 unlocked. We will talk about more when it released in India. As of now there is no estimated date when it will arrive in India and at what price. So it should be interesting what all new possibility it should open.  But something weird I have seen during the demo as on of the app crashes so how stable is the system and how these tango apps behave and how stable these are as of now it is quite new concept and dveloper have to adopt the new deices and new sdk. Lets see in future will Lenovo Phab 2 pro change the future.
